Ehe breaking OF the dykes OF the
Thesis River has resulted in the sub
merging OF Hity miles OF the Alfold

crowded into small space and the
people are leaving their houses in
boats. The breaking OF the dykes was
due to their detective construction.
II is feared that the market towns OF

JACKSON, Tenn, June This is the
seventy-eighth day since Capt. VIM.
Murchison, of Mendon, has taken any
drink or nourishment of any kind. He
still retains his mental faculties per-
fectly, and will not allow physicians TO
prescribe for him, as he knows they can
not relieve him, and he prefers not to be
tantalized with efforts to restore him
The attack came on at night He had
eaten supper and retired as usual, when
about II O'Clock, he awakened quite
thirsty, took a drink Of water, and went
to sleep again, and in a few hours he
awakened again thirsty, and in attempt
ing TO take a drink of water, found his
throat was paralyzed and that he could
not swallow, since which time he has
not been able TO swallow anything.
He had suffered partial stroke of pa
ralysis previous TO this time. Capt
Murchison is about SO years of age. He
is no crank as has been supposed, but
his fast is the result of disease, and the
several physicians Of this city who have
visited him all regard his case with deep
interest as one of the most extraordinary
on record. He was formerly in business
in this city, and has no family. 1T this
time he is very feeble and c. 'os live
